[Opinions] Re: Iphigenia
in reply to a message by Claire H
I adore this name! The only down side is a nn. Iffy? Jenny? Genie? Nie-a?
I pronounce it (and have always heard it as) "if-ih-jen-IE-a." But if someone said it should be "if-ih-JEE-nee-a" or "if-ih-JAY-nee-a," I couldn't really disagree. Those are probably closer to the original pronunciation.
